M38A1 hard Starting

Hi all,
I recently purchased a un-restored 1955 M38A1. Even though it is
un-restored, It's in verry good shape. The only ad on's are 24 volt
directional signals, a pinicle front tow bar and warn overdrive.
The only problem I am having is it is rather difficult to start. The
starter drags and turns over slow and reluctantly. It has new batteries,
the voltage regulator is putting out 26.5 volts. I put on a new distributor
cap, rotor and spark plugs.
Being a newbee and not very mechanical I could sure use some advice.

thanks,
Jerry Kein
